RE: How many deer mounts would you like to have?
Don't get me wrong, fellas.....I'm not saying I'm done....lol.
I have my '07 turkey that I should get back any day now. I want to get another turkey done......maybe 2 more. If I can take 2 more with my bow......I want a flying mount and a full strut bird, yet.
Like I said.....the '09 Pronghorn (if I can take one) will be a pedestal mount.
Rob....I, too, wanta doe mount. I may wait until I take the first one witt my longbow to do this, though. It just seems appropriate.
But.....I don't see too many more whitetail buck mounts in my future. Maybe I'll surprise myself.......but it's the way I feel, right now.

"My" pronghorn (if fortunate) will be a pedistal mount too.

RE: How many deer mounts would you like to have?
Kinda like what Rob said. I won't shoot a buck if I am not going to mount him. But I mount my own so it isn't that big of an expense. I don't plan to stop shooting them any time soon. I still have some room on my walls.
I can get 3 per year, 2 in MO and 1 in IL. I am going to try my best to fill all of those tags with bucks good enough to mount. But I get kinda picky once I have the first one on the ground.

The animals I want mounted would take up a lot of space...Deer, Elk, Pronghorn, Turkey, Fish, Ducks/Geese, Coyote w/pheasant.

I have 26 mounts so far . That is what I am hunting for ,I can't bring myself to kill something that will not go in the game room. Call me lucky, call me good, just don't bother trying to call me in hunting season.

RE: How many deer mounts would you like to have?
I've mounted 2 of my bucks in 20-something years. That's adequate for my whitetail mounts. I also have a javelina mount. Again, adequate. I would like one mount of various other big and small game animals as I have opportunityto hunt and mount them. I donot want a gaudy trophy wall littered with heads. (Nor does my wife...tacky.) I justlike a simple mount here and there to look nice andgive my house (and especially my bow room) a cabin flavor,which represents a variety of wildlife and hunting adventures.
I'm more than excited about the prospect of killing any whitetail this season, buck or doe, but I just have no desire or intention of mounting any more.

RE: How many deer mounts would you like to have?
I hear ya, AK.......but I don't wanna kill another buck (barring extenuating circumstances like an injury) and NOT have it mounted. "I" don't see the point....and I can kill 2 a year, here.
Maybe I'll change my mind. Who knows?
